As the title says ZM is getting a very low (<1fps) stream from a Mobotix M15 Camera. I have found this topic: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=13726&sid=45e6252f ... d&start=15 and used the latest post to set up my source. I did change the fps variable in the url from 1 to 16 (the framerate of the camera) and matched the resolution. I also made sure that the camera is set to use MxPEG. Since the original topic is a post from 2009 and mentioned adding native MxPEG support in a month, I did not add the ffmpeg extension mentioned in that post.
Troubleshooting/Sanity Check steps:
1) I can open the camera's web UI and see the camera stream with no issues. Additionally, I have a milestone system (which I am looking to replace) that's able to access the camera just fine. I am reasonably confident that the camera and its network connection have no issues.
2) Updated the firmware to the latest available settings
3) Tried different "functions" in ZM, Mocord, Montior, etc. with no real difference. The reason I tried this is I'm not sure how changing the function affects ZM's interpretation of the incoming frames.
4) Ran a ping test to the IP camera from the ZM machine for about 10 minutes and had no dropped frames.
I checked the logs and saw this (many times):

1) Clean Ubuntu 18.04 Server install. Only packages installed are ZM and the required packages.
2) Load is reporting things like 0.01 so I'm pretty sure it's not a performance issue.
Any ideas or pointers in the right direction would be appreciated. Here's hoping that I can switch from milestone to a nice open source solution!
